Celebrate 100 SOS Children’s Villages in Europe

September 7, 2007

SOS Children Village Opening Celebration in Latvia - Image

Congratulations is in order! SOS Children’s Villages, already 450+ villages strong, just celebrated the opening of another SOS Children’s Village in Europe. This is the 100th village to support orphaned and abandoned children in Europe. The new village opened in Latvia, and is already home to 3 SOS mothers who care for thirteen Latvian orphans. In just four months time, by the end of the year, it will be home to 20 children, and has the capacity for 4 times that!

The town of Valmiera, Latvia, where the village is located, is rich in history, and culture. It can even be found as a tourist destination for those looking to do some skiing or canoeing, or for those interested in catching a theater performance.

With the help of SOS Children’s Villages, and the wonderful SOS mothers, we hope the children will find love and bountiful opportunities in Valmiera in the years to come!
